There are morally vapid pearl clutchers in every faith and culture.

Tell me more about this reinvigorated economy- lol.

ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.

when companies get too big, the C-level executives lose visibility about what the needs of the actual users are and instead

I think that cycle is universal. As any organization or group becomes increasingly stratified the decision makers at the top lose any connection to the foundations of prosperity that allowed to to grow and stratify in the first place.

I imagine it like a city on a mountain. As the city grows wealth and status concentrate at the top. That’s normal and beneficial at small scales. But at a certain point the top moves above the cloud layer and can no longer see the base of the mountain. After that point those at the top start to forget how the mountain works and believe the cloud layer is part of the structure and their decisions become increasingly disconnected from any reality below that cloud layer.

And our globally connected society keeps those above the cloud layer in closer contact to the tops of other mountains than to the base of their own.

Her?

Amazing this bullshit still gets published. For anyone interested in the actual non-story:

In a pod.

Also tells you everything you need to know about his campaign staff, not that anyone didn’t already know, but still…

Pro-Trump conservatives are therefore faced with the daunting task of explaining why it is actually good for an ex-president to illegally keep U.S. atomic secrets lying around his golf club, show off secret military plans to friends as if they were souvenirs, and then refuse to return those documents upon the government’s request.

They don’t have to explain it, it just feels right and anyone who disagrees is anti-American. Also buttery males.

Show me a computer that can power and maintain itself and I’ll start worrying.

The risk AI poses is the same as fossil fuel or nuclear weapons, human decisions are the problem.

But the cool new thing is because humans struggle to understand the difference between a calculation and a decision, we can blame AI for any harmful decisions we make based on its calculations.

When ChatGPT first became available I asked it to rewrite ‘Tom Traubert’s Blues’ lyrics with a Star Trek theme and I was kind of glad that the results were unreadable. ChatGPT will never replace people who like writing sci-fi lyrics for songs their favorite songs.

Should be the default assumption that anyone taking credit for any technology is exaggerating.

Seems a bit like that old SNL skit about ‘Robot Insurance’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Gh_IcK8UM

We freak out about sci-fi scenarios while ignoring the overwhelming greed that’s actually destroying society.

Maybe Google should refuse to host their services until they pay, like how everything else works.

The ‘harm from AI’ is just another version of the harm caused by a few people controlling something that millions contribute to. The only solution to that I see is just set an upper limit on wealth so that unlimited greed doesn’t become unlimited power.

It’s not intelligent, but it’s very agreeable, which is all it takes to lead people.

Yep, me too. Deleted 10yr history with PowerDeleteSuite. Took about 6 runs for some reason. Now it’s just one post titled “Done with Reddit”. I have a data request download from about 6 months ago so I can still find all my posts and comments. I might dig through and see if any of my memes are worth reposting to Lemmy.

Maybe Rudy can help.

PowerDeleteSuited my 10 year old acct history with ~650k comment karma. Took half a dozen runs. Not deleting the account bc I don’t want that username recycled but otherwise done. Actually kind of nice to move on and back to a smaller but more committed userbase.
